Dictation:(People in America)
Fossey returned to the United States with a desire to work in Africa. She met with Professor Leakey a second time when he visited the United States to give a series of talks. This time, he asked her to begin a long-term study of the gorillas. He said information she collected might help to show how human ancestors developed.
A group called the Wilkie Foundation agreed to support her research. The Wilke Foundation already supported another researcher, Jane Goodall, in her study of wild chimpanzees. Fossey also received help from a major scientific and educational organization -- the National Geographic Society.
Fossey returned to central Africa in nineteen sixty-six. She spent a short time observing Jane Goodall. Then she began setting up her own research camp in what was then the county of Zaire. Fossey sought help from the local native people who knew hoa to follow mountain gorillas in the wild.
A short time later, political unrest forced her to move to nearby Rwanda. She settled in a protected area between two mountains. There, she established the Karisoke Research Center. This would be her home for most of her next eighteen years. Much of that time, she worked alone.
